Written between the two world wars, the Dona nobis pacem reflects the experiences the composer had serving in the British Royal Army Medical Corps in World War I, and his concerns that Europe might be hurtling towards a second conflagration.

The singers of STSC return to the beauty and majesty of St. Patrick’s Church in Binghamton for a concert of music in anticipation of the Lenten journey.

The program will feature works from Germany, Austria, France, Spain, and the United States by Johann Sebastian Bach, Johannes Brahms, Francis Poulenc, Pablo Casals, and Morten Lauridsen, including sumptuous pieces for eight-part choir.

Experience the joy, anguish, and renewal of love in this delightful evening of song, featuring music by Gesualdo, Marenzio, Monteverdi, Vecchi, and Wert. STSC members Elizabeth Chilton, Christina Taylor, William Culverhouse, Paul Schleuse, and Andrew Walkling perform one-voice-per-part in the intimate setting and lovely acoustics of the Binghamton University Art Museum.

Free and open to the public. No ticket required.
